Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today I have a couple of cards using ink cubes: adding colour without stamping. This is a great way to get more out of your supplies and you can easily use your ink cubes with your die cuts. I have two cards using a gorgeous die from Altenew: Floral heart frame die and how to either use your ink cubes to create colour with your die or to create a colourful background for the die to overlay.  Ink cubes: Adding colour without stamping photos and written step-by-step:...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Have you used layering stamps before but want a different way to use them? Well, why not create a faux watercolour look to your stamping? Faux watercolouring with stamp layering can create some fun and unique looks; they may even look like you hand painted them, but without the fuss! If you've not even used a stamp layering set before, I've also got a basic card with normal stamp layering as well to start you off with.

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I have a lovely colour combination for you today to use in your card and papercraft projects. I have created a lovely soft and sophisticated with love card using Altenew stamp and dies but you could use this colour scheme for a range of occasions.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Do you love to use die cuts on your cards, but want to stretch how you use them and get more from them? Adding colour detail with your Copic markers, or any other alcohol marker is a quick way to change up your regular die cuts from plain cardstock and make your card stand out. What's more, you can use a layering floral die such as this layered rose die from Altenew and use the layers independently to stretch your design. Copic coloured  die-cut florals video:    ...
